Bug#860078: sane-utils: If the scanner user is not a local user, installation fails due to adduser failing.

2017-04-11 Thread Andrew Spiers
Package: sane-utils
Version: 1.0.24-8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate
***

   * What led up to the situation?

When I tried to install or upgrade sane-utils, the installation fails when
running the line

adduser --quiet saned scanner

Due to the scanner group existing in a winbind group, not in /etc/groups.
Because
it cannot find the scanner group in /etc/group, the command exits with
status code 3.

I can think of two workarounds, but I do not know which is best.

a.  simply append '|| true' to that line
b.  replace the line with 'usermod -a -G scanner saned'

Either way, the saned user will not actually be added to the group, but at
least
installation can continue.

Regards


Andrew Spiers

Package: agedu

Severity: important

running agedu -s /var consistently causes the crash with this error:
running agedu -s /etc does not produce this error.

Both our /var and /etc are xfs filesystems.

Bug#723817: Same problem occurs with agedu built from source.

2013-09-19 Thread Andrew Spiers
Hi, just to let you know that I built this from source on the same
system and got the same error, so perhaps the problem lies upstream.
I used agedu-r9723 from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/agedu/
The problem is when using the lower-case -s  option.

Bug#386791:

2013-04-07 Thread Andrew Spiers
I am sorry to report that this seems to be happening again.

Package: bind9
State: partially configured
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze10
Priority: optional
Section: net
Maintainer: LaMont Jones lam...@debian.org

Chowning rndc.key to root:bind means I can start up the service again,
but the next attempt to install this package re-runs the post-install
script,
which chowns it back to bind:bind, which means the service can't
start, leaving the package partially configured.
